Swedish academies on alert as US targets academic freedoms

Description

Frede Blaabjerg, a professor in the Department of Energy Technology at Aalborg University and chairman of the Danish Council for Research and Innovation Policy, agrees on the need to protect academic freedom in the Nordic region. The issue has arisen as more and more American universities experience pressure on academic freedom. He states, "I also see a need for awareness about collaboration and the approach of responsible internationalisation [which] is a good way to go - research and innovation are truly international" (Summary provided by Infomedia).
